MONTERREY, Mexico — The kidnapped mayor of a northern Mexican town was found dead Wednesday. Santiago Mayor Edelmiro Cavazos’ body was found near a waterfall outside his town, said the Nuevo Leon state attorney general.
The assassination bore the hallmarks of drug cartels waging vicious turf battles in northeastern Mexico: Cavazos’ hands were bound, and his head was wrapped in tape.
Cavazos, 38, was kidnapped from his home Sunday night by 15 armed men wearing uniforms from a defunct federal police force, a tactic frequently used by Mexico’s drug gangs.
